Overnight Open Thread (6 May 2017)
Teaching Self-Control
This clever cookie box that teaches self-control assumes you just won't take a hammer to it. Which is a form of self control itself because it would be easier to just hurl it against the wall to smash it open without taking the time to get a hammer and break it open in a controlled fashion. Medical Studies Medical studies are almost always bogus. So are climate change studies. Lucas King Haunting take on classic John Williams Star Wars pieces.

So can Keith Olbermann. You have been wormed.
by the way, around 1940 , Buster Keaton did some short comedies for Columbia pictures. In one he was named Peter Hedley Lamar Jr. Had a funny dance scene with him and Elsie Ames, who apparently did almost no film work except in this Keaton series, but she was a pretty good match for him.

Pretty sure it was an unaccountable government that wouldn't let people secede in peace.
The military was controlled by new age hippies (which is terrifying actually), and the government was full of idiots that thought, for example, enslaving a clone army created by someone for some reason they couldn't guess was a great idea.
Hell, if the Galactic Senate's response to the secession was "Ok, you can leave if you want", the movie is over in about 15 minutes - besides Jar Jar getting annihilate by the Space Japanese.

Yeah, I used to watch "Say Yes to the Dress" because I like looking at wedding dresses. I can't imagine what some of these women are thinking. The worst I ever saw was a very large, VERY buxom woman with a strapless dress that essentially made her breasts look like something you could put mugs of beer on.
The fiancee loved the look.

More people means that there is more of a chance of people contracting diseases.
Better medical testing means that we now detect those diseases at a higher level than they used to.
Better widespread communications means that more people are made aware of diseases now than ever before.
A 100 years ago, a person would have died or just been really sick for a few weeks, and nobody outside of their family would have known about it.

After the French surrendered (again), most of the French troops who had been evacuated to England demanded to be repatriated to France.
Five battalions of the 42nd Foot were abandoned at Dunkirk as part of the rear guard. Admittedly, Tommies, not Regulars. But still, Jocks.

Unfortunately, a lot of them also turned around and went right back to France (since France hadn't surrendered yet, even though everyone could see the writing on the wall). Churchill was understandably upset about that.
Others got out of France in other ways. DeGaulle, for instance, was never trapped in the pocket.

He seems to stress that by essentially arguing Asians score higher on intelligence tests then Caucasians...and yet Asian populated countries can't compete with the US/Europe.
Of course to continue his argument, Europe should be more successful then the US since until recently they didn't take in immigrants...
I have wondered if there is something to the notion though that the people that came to America had something different about them which has made the country more successful. I've attributed that to personality and culture though, the people that are ok with kneeling to a master stay overseas...

Most of the people that voluntarily or semi-voluntarily came to America had the gumption to get and leave when they realized how badly things stunk in the old country. Endless sentimentality about the "old country", but they got up and left.
I've got no urge or sentimental feeling for my very distant German cousins. I think Germany became the ugly mess it was in the 20th century because millions of "Germans", Germanic peoples, came to America in the 19th century and were the ones that wanted something better, and changed the demographics of Olde Germany (in a subtle way), the one that Bismark united.

LOL. My grandpa went back to the old country that he left when he was 16. It was freaking hysterical. He spent the whole time bitching that the roads that were effed up 40 years ago were still messed up and nothing had changed. He was INCREDIBLY happy to be in America. Also taunted a Russian soldier about how little money he was paid. LOL.
So YES, those men and women had gumption.
Imagine a 14 year old leaving home, moving to another country, working for two years, and then moving to another continent now.

--For my wedding, the wifey went crazy trying to find a suitable gown.
I hate the current strapless/sleeveless wedding gown trend. A wedding gown should be a heavily bundled wrapping for the groom to unwrap, not "Hey, boys (and girls)! Look at me!"
She ended up with a sleeveless number, adding a shawl to put over it for modesty.
Her sister went with a '70s/disco gown (one strap).

Pre-modern Germany is fascinating. It developed a liberal-conservative polity like other northern European countries (though smaller and later). But Bismark defeated them by instead getting the aristocracy to buy off the socialists with social programs.
This, by the way, is the origin of the welfare state...and the modern left.

That sounds like my ex-wife's grandfather. He was 15 when his parents got him out of Italy (beginning of the Great War), and he came to America.
He was sort of an asshole from what I was told about him (I never met him), but he had a lot of gumption.
My former boss was a Kurdish Iraqi who got out of Iraq when he was 17 and finished high school in the US (at the beginning of the Iran-Iraq War), living with his uncle in LA; then went to USC. Really, a great guy who was also my friend.
His life here has been a tremendous success. I remember the day he became a US citizen about 20 some years ago. He was very proud of it.

--My Pennsylvania Dutch ancestors fled the Palatinate because they were Protestant as well. My Mexican wife told me the surname of my Mexican ancestor was probably a converso, because a) he had a surname that was common among Sephardic Jews at the time, and b) he was from Monterrey, where a lot of them settled, and and a few instances reverted to Judaism, being far removed from the mother country.

Some of Sebastian's songs I love, like the classic "Summer in the City", and "Younger Girl".
There was a song he recorded with his grandfather that I heard years ago, but could never find.
It was called "Kentucky Nightshine", and it was his grandfather's memory of Halley's Comet appearance in 1910.

Found a March, 2015 piece by Brookings stating that the 1.2 billion dollar program did not improve student outcomes and made behavior worse. It suggested that funding was only maintained because Schwarzenneger got involved in promoting the program.

I suspected my "Run Shibumi Run" instinct was correct, but wondered if there was something wrong with me and this was an accepted thing now.
On the positive side, I've avoided this guy for a year, and, probably won't have to deal with him at all for at least a year or so- biz reasons. The first time I had to talk to him-- about six months after I verbally eviscerated him-- [once again business] he could barely speak and was almost incoherent. This time was the opposite. He wouldn't shut up. It was... inappropriate, unwelcome and horrible.
On the positive side, I bitched to my boss, who now may very well agree that the guy and his firm are Not Right For Us, and I can avoid them.

The German General staff had Lenin smuggled into Russia from Finland in 1917 to raise a revolution and get Russia out of the War. Pretty smart on their part.

There was a time years ago when I followed French politics, because I worked for a French company, and wanted to understand what was going on over there.
What a discouraging mess. Maybe I am naive about a lot of American politics, but the French politicians are just so mendacious and cynical, it is no wonder the country is as it is. They are all crooks.

Undergoing this in what's essentially mild Chicago winter just squares and cubes it. Nothing against South Bend; the weather was just as bad at home. Why the hell do we live "up heah"? The Alabamians and Arizonians seemed to bear it with better humor. Even the guy who was one whole day late because he'd driven from San Francisco, via Missouri, got over it. But we locals were kind of ashamed. Shoulda knowed better.

The Germans are pretty much responsible for Lenin.
They had him in one of their jails and decided to release him back to Russia during WWI so that he could create chaos in Russia knocking them out of the war. It worked a little too well.
So, the Germans can be thanked for the rise of Nazism and Communism.

Years ago, a station I worked at was bought by an out-of-state media group. You've heard of shoestring budgets? These guys would cut the shoestring in half and try to run it through both shoes. Technical problems wouldn't get fixed, staff was slashed until it was just me in charge of two stations. The bosses never called me unless it was to yell at me. I stayed there way too long, and when I finally did leave, I was so burned out I left broadcasting for a few years.

I've always been interested in history and my background, my folks did some research when I was a kid. I followed up on it.
So I knew 2 of my grandparents were all German, and there were bits on the other sides. So I should be over 50% German.
Did the DNA thing and I'm must less than that. Lots of Scandi and Iberian. These folks did wander around a bit.
And I'm really a bit Irish, thought it was all Scots-Irish. Weird. And less than 1% Jewish, which I suspected, learned a few yrs ago.
Prayer up for Johnny w/ the cat that is leaving this plane soon. You will always have the good memories.

They had him in one of their jails and decided to release him back to Russia during WWI so that he could create chaos in Russia knocking them out of the war. It worked a little too well.
So, the Germans can be thanked for the rise of Nazism and Communism.

In the 1980's, it was best for the women to find a seat as the men beat the shit out of each-other in the Mosh Pit.
We would return to our women, sweaty and beaten as a reprieve from the exertion of playing free-safety for an hour.
When the women offered us comfort, we would buy them drinks and, (of course), those concert tickets.
As the women discussed the "oddity" of the Mosh Pit, we were building manly hormones and working-off steam from the work-week.

--Hard to say. Man has a well-nigh infinite capacity for self-delusion.
Marx did not spring ex nihilo. The phrases "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" and "the opiate of tyhe masses" are commonly attributed to Marx, but actually were coined by French socialists among which Marx stewed.
(Book of Job: "One da, when the heavenly powers stood waiting upon the Lord's presence, and among them, man's Enemy, the Lord asked him, where he had been? Roaming about the earth, said he, to and fro about the earth.")

And, if I were meeting any of you fine people, male or female....if I were visiting your cities, and you said, "Hey if you need a place to stay, feel free..." I would consider it.
So, the only reason for me to not consider it would be I am thinking something is going to happen, which is a bit presumptuous of me, no? I'm from Indiana...I know the art of being a good hostess and being accommodating and offering people a place to sleep at night.
Anyway, so once again, as usual, I am probably overthinking things. More than likely, it was just a friendly offer, just like I would make to any of you guys, and nothing more.

Heh. I went to the Red Deer vintage car swap meet again today. There a little gun show going on in another building at the fairgrounds, so I popped in there, because I was looking for a replacement bolt for my Cooey model 750 single-shot .22 rifle. Found a guy who had lots of gun parts, but he said he had sold out all the bolts to fit that model, and that he can't keep any. Said it's one of the hottest-selling gun parts he deals with. I guess they have a propensity to fall out and get lost.
Anyway, another visitor at the show overheard all this, and said he had 2 or 3 of them. So he's going to mail one to me, and then I get to send him a check for $65. Woo-hoo! And I paid less than $65 for the whole rifle some 40 years ago. Sigh.

Alex great advice...but again...I feel like it's a bit presumptuous.
For example, if I met you, would you "test boundaries"? Probably not. You'd treat me like any other horde member...guy or girl.
That line of thinking assumes 1) That he is interested in me 2) That we have any sort of chemistry when we meet, which is a crap shoot. 3) That this offer wasn't made from a purely gracious, friendly level.
So, in a way....I am unfairly and harshly judging him by just assuming he is wanting something physical. Maybe he is just trying to be a gracious host.

I'm not saying that he has those intentions, but the thought/desire has crossed his mind 100%.

-#1. I'd visit you, as a man. I wouldn't rely on you visiting me.
-#2. You're still selling yourself short by asking if he is interested. He's sunk time into you, which is a resource.
-#3. Men "test boundaries". It is up to you to create barriers in accordance with your beliefs.
-#4. There is no number four and there has never been a number four.
-#5. You won't tell your Parents about this because you know that there is something "off" about it.
-#6. Even if your Parents are "Strict Over-Reactionaries", you're going to have to tell them at some point.

Slap, do you think the man should always be the one who visits? I've done this different ways. On the one hand, it's the gentlemanly thing for the man to do the traveling. On the other hand, visiting him means you have more flexibility.

Wow, thank you for a comprehensive list there. I love lists.
Personally...I prefer to be the one to travel. I know it may not be gentlemanly, but even if he said, "Hey I want to visit you," I would still probably want to visit him, or at least meet somewhere neutral, first. This way, I get to have an adventure and see places I've always wanted to go. Rather than have him on my turf and simultaneously have to entertain, and worry about friends and family and work and all of that...I can just go away, shut my mind from my "real life," and see what's what. I actually know a lot of girls who have travelled TO their significant others who feel the same way. It is almost more empowering to be the traveler than the travelee.
I am asking if he is interested, because he has not stated that he is interested. So, yeah this whole, "You could stay with me" thing had me a bit...off my game.
There is nothing "off" about it...I mean meeting him, at least. I would be and plan to be honest with my parents. They deserve to know and should know my plans, itinerary, where I will be at any given time. I haven't told them anything yet, as there's nothing to tell.
Thank you....I love you too.

Yes, because he's a guy and you're a girl. (And not just a girl, but an 'Ette.) Men and women CAN be just friends, but it's not as likely with a single man and a single woman.
Even if it ends up that way, it probably wasn't his intention.
Men are different than women. Our natural, genetic, primal impulses are very strong in this area.

Maybe sometimes it's better for the man to have the home-field advantage.
Hmmm. Much depends on the respective situations, I guess. Given my circumstances I think I'd rather do the traveling. Besides, roadtrip! I would appreciate a change of scenery.

For example, if I met you, would you "test boundaries"? Probably not. You'd treat me like any other horde member...guy or girl.
That line of thinking assumes 1) That he is interested in me 2) That we have any sort of chemistry when we meet, which is a crap shoot. 3) That this offer wasn't made from a purely gracious, friendly level.
So, in a way....I am unfairly and harshly judging him by just assuming he is wanting something physical. Maybe he is just trying to be a gracious host.
Posted by: Tickled Pink at May 07, 2017 01:19 AM (smD62)
If a guy is friends with a woman, he's wanted to fuck her. Not necessarily date her, but there is some attraction. It's the way guys are wired. We tend to look at women we're friends with and find attraction there. Women tend to look at guys they're attracted to, and look for a friendship.
Shibumi is correct that a lot of women are oblivious to this. It's why guys talk about the "friend zone" with such disdain.
He's not a bad guy because he extended the invitation, even with an "ulterior" motive. He's testing the waters to see where the two of you stand.

See, that's crazy, I think.
There are millions, maybe billions of single folks in the world. And you aren't going to be attracted to/interested in pretty much 99% of them.
Most people are going to be just friends and acquaintances, where there is no romantic connection at all. So, MOST of the time, anytime a single man and single woman are in the same vicinity, there isn't going to be a spark or any sort of romantic interest.

And a woman that we actually LIKE to be around?

Like I said, women tend to confuse cause and effect. We're not friends with you because we want to get into your pants (well, not always). We want to get into your pants because there's already an interpersonal connection that suggest you're not going to turn into a crazy psycho stalker.
On your first point though...I mean, you don't even know me. I'm shy and awkward and a bit neurotic. And, not particularly attractive. Pretty yes, attractive no. Definitely not a sexual person. More an innocent elfin creature. I can't imagine in my wildest dreams one, much less multiple, of my friends being like..."Oh yeah, let me get some of that."
I'm pretty sure there's a whole subset of fetishes devoted to that specific type of woman. And you don't have to be a supermodel. The whole point is that guys 1) aren't super picky, especially if it's physical and nothing more, 2) are actually turned on by personality. Since they're your friends they already have a good connection, which is going to make you more attractive.

--LMAO, exactly what the 9-year old me would think.

my guess would be 9 year old you would be like.
Ewwwww girls have cooties.....oooh, is that paste? I wonder what it tastes like?

--I was averse to girls at nine, and would make silly, sing-songy comments about boys of my cohort who liked them.

Test your theory. Tell him Great, love to, then tell him you sleep in the nude and wait for his response.

ROFL....well, the problem with that is we know each other too well for that to work.
He knows I get cold when I sleep. And, I'm pretty sure he knows I am not the kind of person who would sleep in the buff.
So, if I told him that, he would probably think it was a joke and laugh.

Ok, then. Joke that you'll have to cuddle if you get cold. He will have the AC maxed for days.

Lol. Yeeeeah, I might try that. OR it will get me uninvited. Seems a bit bold.
Also, it wouldn't be a joke. Cuddling would be a dream, and if I get cold, I probably would need a cuddle....even if it's just with pillows. Lol.

If you've ever been to Reddit, you might know they worship Neil Degrasse Tyson like he was a God, "cuz science, bro."
But right now on the front page is a post about another one of their Gods, Bill Nye, which I would summarize as 'WTF is this shit???' (re: 'Saves The World' show)
He really mentions fleshlights?? WTF
I think "not very scientific" applies to the whole show.
"Gender spectrum?" What ever happened to biology?
using stupid skits, forced audience reactions
Bill Nye is a fucking sell-out.
